A website screenshot service that opens a URL in Chromium, a web browser, and saves the page as a PNG, JPEG or WebP image. It can capture the visible window or the whole page, use a country-specific connection, and remove ads and cookie notices.

Use it to capture website pages for visual checks, documentation, previews, or research. It requires a Site-Shot API key.

It removes the need to open pages manually or build your own browser screenshot setup. It also helps produce more consistent captures across different locations and page layouts.

site-shot — Plugin for Gemini CLI by site-shot/site-shot-mcp

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/site-shot/site-shot-mcp

Made for: Gemini CLI.

Security

Grade A, and why

site-shot scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/sync-tessl-plugin.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What ships with it

2 files beside gemini-extension.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
